HOW TO READ:

The chart will display the Primary Person at the bottom and then vertically display each generation.

In order to fit everything onto (1) page some generations have to be stacked on top of each other with the father being on top. 

In this example the 3x great-grandparent couple (A) is the parents of (C) and the 3x great-grandparent couple (B) is the parents of (D).

(C) and (D) are the parents of (E).

This dynamic is the same for all (8) lines across the chart. Using unique colors in the design will make it easy to trace generations up and down.

Non-biological parents will display an " * " after the parent's name.
